LittleBigPlanet 3: PS4 servers won't be back online, it's official

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 for PS4 servers will not be reactivated. They had been offline for months in January this year due to some technical problems. Now, the company has definitively confirmed that we can give up: they won't be coming back online.

Obviously it is a great disappointment for fans of the video game, who can no longer access the online contents of LittleBigPlanet 3. We are talking about a game that relies heavily on its community and ability to share created levels and to try those made by others.

It is specified that ours content saved on our PS4 they will still be accessible, but obviously that is little consolation. Only what works when offline in LittleBigPlanet 3 is still accessible.
